As a standard, we employ all the following methods to ensure our site is accessible to as many people as possible:

All images have an alternative text description, unless the images are decorative only

Our stylesheets allow for text resizing using relative font sizes, and is comptabitle with the View – Text Size option in the browser toolbar

All content is accessible and usable when images, styling and javascript is turned 'off' in the browser, or when your browser does not support stylesheets

The website is viewable/readable when website colours are turned 'off'

We are committed to Plain English in all our written content

Our site has been designed without the use of tables except where we need to represent normally tabulated content i.e timetables

A non-serif font is used for easier readability

We do not use all-capitals for emphasis

All form controls are appropriately and explicitly labeled.

We provide e-mail addresses as an alternative form of access for our online forms.

We use a hierarchy of heading markups i.e an <h1> tag for main headings, <h2> for secondary headings etc which makes it easier for screen readers to work out the stucture of a page

Our site can be viewed in a logical order when all styling is turned off
